Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 240 Weatherby or 25-06 Rem for Coyotes, Deer, Pronghorn ?

Friend Dober,

That's the way I had it figgered back in my very-gunny late teenage years and early 20s. Then I took a loooooooooong circle and am back here at the .257 Weatherby again.

Life gets curiouser and curiouser

Your buddy Steve

Old friend, yup. Dang, I've owned it for like two or three years and have not fired it yet. We are so busy with K's Altar Society stuff and such that I simply have not MADE time.

Totally different subject. I was re-reading my earlier post and sounded like an idiot, a cheap idiot ... sorry to all.

At the same time, I was doing a private writing about how humbling it is to have thousands of readers (when I used to write) who trusted me. What an unparalleled honor and privilege. Seriously. The trust ... wow. And thank you!!

Your buddy Steve

PS. Karen's coming along really well; Thanks Be To God

Steve,
Did you ever do a article on the 25-06? If you did where can it be found?

I think you should also do a article on the 257 Weatherby...

Dink

Friend Dink,

Yup, I did a single article on the .25-'06 and it is rather a long, complete one. Regrettably, I've chsnged computers (couple of times) and son't ahve the article on my hard disk. And it is so danged long that it would cost me a fortune to send copies to everyone ... 11-pages, believe it or not ... so I cannot offer carte blanche to all. Gosh, it must be 6,000 words or whatever.

It was during a time when I was free to tell all I knew about a cartridge and include lots and lots of GREAT personally-developed data.

Anyway, if you can find a copy of Varmint Hunter Magazine Issue #14 - April 1995, look on pages 162 THROUGH 172.

Oh one thing, at that time, I had a couple of 8-pound kegs of RL-22 that was really, really slooooow. PLEASE drop the ReLoder-22 data stated in that articles load data by fully 8 or 9%.

Let me know if I can help you further.

God Bless,

Your buddy Steve

Steve,

That is a great article. I've been saving it for when I get my own 25-06. If X-mas was not a month away I would have one.

Friend Steve, I've got a really good scanner at the office. Send me printed copies of anything you want to have electronically and I will scan it and e-mail it back to you in PDF format. I won't keep copies or share them - just return them to you to share or have electronically as you choose.

Ward

Steve,

A PDF of that article, per Ward's offer, would be a great way to keep that info alive and it would be greatly appreciated by a bunch of us fellow loonies.

DF

DF,

I haven't been ignoring Wards wonderful offer, I've just been busy working on some personal writing. Singularly wonderful Christmas gifts for a very, very few friends. Hopefully, my friends will like these especial little scratchings.

OK, PDF. I'm so danged ignorant ... I guess that would be sent as an attachment or something.

Tell you what I'll do. I'll go ahead and print up ten of the .25-'06 articles. I'll do the printing on both sides of the paper and get them ready.

The first ten guys to sign up and send me a PM with their snail-mail address (like name, actual address, city, state and ZIP) will get an article sent by mail. Should be out today if you sign on early enough ...

OK?

That will keep the article and all it's information alive. And I don't have to mess with computer stuff. Plus, I can finish my very special writings ... you guys have no idea how very wonderful a couple of these pieces are ... it makes me cry-for-happy to put the words on paper and it makes me even happier than that to share with a few guys and gals I love deeply.

So, sign up and I'll get the articles out!!!!

God Bless You All,

Steve

OK, I have one going out.

To keep this simple, why don't we do an "I'll Take It" for everybody to see.

Then, please send my your contact information as a PM.

This would address any privacy issue some might have.

Number One is spoken for.

Hey Guys, I'll also autograph each one. That and ten bucks will buy you a small cup of Starbucks Coffee

Your buddy Steve

I'll take one.

PM sent.

I'll Take It

I'll Take one also please. Thanks, Brad.

Dear Dirt (I dig it )

You will be number five.

Printing right now and will have them off today.

Anybody know how much it costs to mail a letter to Canada? I don't have a postal scale, but I have a handloading scale (fancy that :grin) and the five printed pages (both sides), envelope and a stamp weigh 440.0 grains.

As I remember, one-ounce is 437.5 grains, so the Canadian one weighs within a nano of an ounce.

Would a couple of First Class Liberty Bell Forever stamps get my article to British Columbia???

Thanks for your help and God Bless.

Steve

105gn A-max or VLD would be a good reason "Why".

Steve, I will take one if you still have a couple left.

PM following.

Have not read all of the posts.

Ballistically they are too close.

Used to work with 2 brothers on a ranch, one shot the .25 and the other a 6MM-06 IMP.

Both shot 100 grain bullets for deer and 75 grain HPs for ranch pests.

I never saw a nickel's worth of difference.

It's like cutting the line between six and a half dozen....until one gets to the economics of it all.....and the 25-06 wins every time.

Friends,

Six articles with names on them. I have four more.

Steve

I would like one please.

I would prefer for you to personally deliver it this January during the Alabama rut.

But I'll take the mailed version.

Thanks.
